Surrey and Sussex Feb Ride - Horsham

The February ride starts at the cafe in Horsham park, so an opportunity for an extra breakfast to get you through the morning. We'll take a few lanes and very few bridleways to Coolham, where they may well be an Historical Point of Interest. Then on to lunch at The Hare and Hounds, Cowfold.
Selfless research has shown this has a fine range of proper beer as well as wine and soft drinks. There is a choice of Sunday roast, sandwiches, snacks, burgers, lasagne, Ham Egg and Chips (of course) and lots more besides.
Then we press on, gaining a bit of height (but nothing like the Grimpeur-fest that was Januarys exacting tour) to Warninglid, Colgate, Faygate and back into Horsham. Coffee and buns in the Cafe. 40 miles. Bring a bike.
